In a condition of very tight market, the strength of the company is absolutely required to be able to survive. The company can reach this by producing product which have good quality so those products can compete with the imported products. One way for the company to be able to win the market is to keep the basic cost of producing goods down in order to be able to keep the prices of the goods down and the quality of the goods satisfies consumers. Product Cost is the basis for the management to determine the selling price of the product.
